Foreman is aimed to be a Single Address For All Machines Life Cycle Management.

    Foreman integrates with Puppet (and acts as web front end to it).

    Foreman takes care of provisioning until the point puppet is running, allowing Puppet to do what it does best.

    Foreman shows you Systems Inventory (based on Facter) and provides real time information about hosts status based on Puppet reports.

    Foreman creates everything you need when adding a new machine to your network,It's goal being automatically managing everything you would normally manage manually - this include DNS, DHCP, TFTP, Virtual Machines, PuppetCA, CMDB etc.

    Foreman is designed to work in a large (and small) enterprises, where multiple domains, subnets and puppetmasters might be required. In many cases, Foreman could help remote provisions where no experienced technicians are available.
